This workshop introduces students to:

• Creating and executing Python programs from a Linux command-line shell
• Using correct Python syntax in Python programs
• Gaining a working knowledge of fundamental Python programming constructs such as variables, conditional logic, control flow, loops, functions, and built-in data types such as Python lists and dictionaries
• Writing a user-defined Python function
• Using the io module in Python to read and write disk files
• Applying Python strings, lists, dictionaries and other constructs to manipulate a MySQL database by creating, reading, updating and deleting records.

We look forward to seeing you on June 28!
